    I run MBAM Pro on all my machines.

    For AV
    on my XP: Bitdefender Free
    on my W7: Avast Free
    on my W8: Windows Defender

    I have WOT installed on the XP machine.

    About the only time I see any alerts is when copying files from customer's computers. I use my XP machine for that.

    Hey Tony,
    I know you saw my posts about Windows 8 natural defenses and I really sort of proved WD is a placebo among AntiMalware and Antivirus programs so I would be really run WOT on the Windows 8 pc as well
    just to be safe.

    I must have missed the post about WD being a placebo. Can you point that out to me and I'll take a look at it.

    Good point Dougie I actually forgot I wasn't in a private conversation...I am going to find that thread that I actually spent a lot of time on and rewrite it for us here anyway though.
